Wife and I saw this last Friday. A powerful movie. It was a very quite crowd who filed out of the movie. I have had the privilege of working with one of the Kiwi FO party members and the APC Tp Leader was the Commandant of the RAAC School of Armour when I had an exchange posting there so it was great to see there story being told. He told some interesting stories of the battle.

Welcome Paul. Have you read the fiction book called "Danger Close" written by a Kiwi soldier who was there? The book is available at the Waiouru museum.
What part of the country are you in?

Danger Close is now available on Amazon.

Watched it last night. It follows the historical time line pretty well, and is certainly exciting with some memorable scenes.

Just don't take too much notice of all the technical errors.

Mike
